Drinking Socially - The Official Untappd Podcast

Drinking Socially - S3 Ep. 16 - Release The Yeast

Episode Summary

We had a hard time finding beers that really make it easy to talk about Yeast. Our impulse was to look for classic Belgian beers as an entryway to speaking about the characteristics of different yeast strains. However, as the landscape of beer retail changes during Covid, we found ourselves unable to find a Chimay, or Piraat. After some shopping around, we're excited to check off a beer on Jon's Mount Beermore — and bring in a classic from Flying Dog. Sit back and enjoy a pint as we talk about Yeast. (More than you ever hoped for)
